The Alternatives of the Tianlong Family

Page 54

Whitebeard successfully caught up with Roger and engaged him in battle.

Although Roger's side still had a small number of men left, and the main force was also injured, Whitebeard still couldn't gain the upper hand in the face of this situation.

After all, Roger, Rayleigh, Jabba, and others are no pushovers.

Besides, Whitebeard had some connection with Roger through some kind of fate, so even if Whitebeard had the upper hand this time, he wouldn't kill Roger.

The current battle is merely a show for Rocks.

Yes, the Rocks Pirates have always been a pirate crew born out of profit, and most of their officers are now unwilling to be subordinate to others.

However, due to Rocks's absolute power, they dared not do too much.

In any case, the current internal situation is far worse than before. Every cadre is unhappy with another cadre, and most cadres are looking for an opportunity, an opportunity to make themselves the sole ruler.

"boom!"

The naginata and the longsword clashed, causing ripples to spread across the sea.

“I never expected that Rocks would send you to chase me, Newgate!” Roger grinned.

"I'll kill you, you bastard Roger!"

Upon hearing this, Roger burst into laughter: "You won't kill me, Newgate!"

Confidence shone on his face; he knew that what the white-bearded man said was just talk.

"You're very confident, Roger!!!"

"Putting aside our friendship, I can still bring you the possibility that you secretly desire!" Roger said slowly and deliberately.

"Haha, I'm starting to think that this Celestial Dragon named Bernard Is can also bring me the possibility I'm hoping for," Whitebeard said calmly.

“Bernard Is? I know that guy. I fought him a while ago.”

"Huh? You've fought him?" Whitebeard asked with a surprised look.

"of course."

Whitebeard smiled, said nothing more, and continued fighting.

····

Meanwhile, on Is's side...

At first, Is also planning to land on the battlefield, but suddenly a voice came from his right.

"Tsk tsk tsk, did I successfully flank them? I spotted a lone Celestial Dragon."

Upon hearing the sound, Is looked up and saw a man who could float. That's right, he was Shiki, one of the executives of the Rocks Pirates, a user of the Float-Float Fruit, the Float Man.

However, when he fought Roger last time, he wasn't injured yet, and his body was still wrapped in white bandages.

"Yes, you successfully flanked them, Shiki!!"

"Hehehehe... I didn't expect my reputation to be so great that even a Celestial Dragon remembered my name."

At this point, the Golden Lion's expression suddenly changed, and he said coldly, "Tell me, if I were to take you hostage, wouldn't your men panic?"

Is's lips curled up slightly, and at the same time, a long spear appeared out of thin air in his hand.

"I think if you were to take me hostage, they might actually panic, but the problem is, you'd have to have that ability first."

Yes, right now, whether Is can defeat the Golden Lion is unknown, but ultimately he won't gain any advantage from it.

What's more, the Golden Lion is injured right now!!!

It's a new month, please give me flowers, please give me flowers, please give me monthly tickets! I'm saying it three times because it's important.

Chapter 83

"Hehehehehe..."

Upon hearing what Is said, the Golden Lion burst into laughter, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Just as I thought, all the Celestial Dragons really are fools. Although I was injured by Roger, dealing with a mere Celestial Dragon is still a piece of cake."

The Golden Lion, with a confident expression and a slight smile, stared at Is not far away.

Despite the Golden Lion's words, Is remained completely unmoved.

A slight smile appeared on his lips, and the next second, many feather-shaped pieces of paper with red flames shot out from his wings.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…”

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…”

Golden Lion stared at the barrage of attacks, but he didn't make a big move. He simply drew the long sword hanging at his waist, covered it with Armament Haki, and then swung it swiftly.

"Ta-da..."

"Ta-da..."

He managed to deflect most of the incoming papers.

"Your attacks are completely useless against me!!" the Golden Lion said as he defended.

"is it?"

Suddenly, a voice rang out in front of him, and the Golden Lion was startled, not expecting Is to suddenly appear in front of him.

"Could it be... that your attack was just to obstruct my vision???"

"bingo!"

"brush!"

Is swung his spear and thrust it forward, catching the Golden Lion completely off guard.

"Bang!"

The golden lion was sent flying backward, tumbling and rolling for a certain distance.

"This guy... his strength is a bit too much!"

Such a blow, capable of knocking oneself back such a distance, is something not everyone can do.

Isa gave Shiki no chance to recover. He pursued directly, his spear covered in Armament Haki and the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit, making him look incredibly cool.

Seeing Is flying towards him, the Golden Lion was not to be outdone and charged at Is, brandishing his two famous swords.

"boom!"

The spear and the famous sword clashed, and the shockwave spread rapidly, creating huge ripples on the sea.

Is's face was calm and composed, but Shiki looked worried. Yes, he originally thought that he could just take it easy by fighting a Celestial Dragon, but... reality was not what he expected.

"You bastard, you're probably a fake Celestial Dragon, aren't you?!" Shiki questioned.

"????"

Is looked genuinely puzzled, but didn't seem to care what he meant, saying, "Whether it's true or false, it doesn't matter."

"The Celestial Dragons should enjoy their rights, why do they have to train and eat Devil Fruits? Wouldn't it be better to just rely on the World Government's power?" Shiki grumbled.

If Is had simply enjoyed his privileges without training or eating a Devil Fruit, then Shiki could have easily coasted through this battle. But now... he's in for a tough fight.

With a "bang!", the golden lion was thrown back a distance.

This time, however, Is did not pursue, but instead remained floating in place.

"Here's a big gift for you, Shiki!" With that, the spear in Is's hand suddenly vanished into thin air.

The Golden Lion frowned deeply; he had a bad feeling.

What trick are you trying to pull?

Is did not answer. At the same time, a blue light slowly emanated from his body, enveloping his entire body.

Soon, the light transformed into a skull-shaped entity.

Immediately afterwards, at a speed visible to the naked eye, veins and flesh spread across the skeleton, and its body slowly grew larger, its shape changed again, and it developed legs and was covered in Tengu armor.

However, this was not the end. The next second, paper armor burning with red flames covered Susanoo's entire body, and wings appeared behind it.

In the blink of an eye, a giant Susanoo appeared in the eyes of the Golden Lion.

"What...what the hell is this?" The Golden Lion had an increasingly bad feeling.

“Of course this is good stuff, Shiki, don’t you like it?” Is stood on the forehead inside Susanoo, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and said with a smile.

Golden Lion frowned, feeling that Is was a madman, and muttered, "Who would like this kind of thing?"

Ish ignored him, and suddenly a huge blue longsword appeared in Susanoo's palm.

He waved his hand in the direction of the golden lion.

With a "whoosh!" sound.

A massive sword aura flew straight towards him.

The Golden Lion's pupils contracted sharply; he was far from foolish enough to even consider a direct confrontation.

He swiftly flew to the side, the massive blue sword energy leaving a vibrant trail before landing directly on the sea.

····

With a loud "boom!"

The sea was cleaved open with a giant slit, and huge waves surged into the sky, causing the sea to churn once again.

The golden lion stared at the commotion below, swallowing hard. It seemed that not catching it was the right thing to do; otherwise, he might already be lying in the sea.

"Damn it, who would like this kind of thing!" The Golden Lion no longer wanted to fight Is. He quickly flew towards the ground, wanting to go to a crowded place so that Is could change his target.

If he had the chance to do it all over again, he would never be so foolish as to try to attack a Celestial Dragon from behind.

····

Not only on Is, but the battles in other places are also becoming increasingly intense.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, Whitebeard's side, they said they were chasing Roger, but if they had alcohol, they probably would have started drinking.

Having paddled enough, Whitebeard was ready to let Roger leave.

Goodbye, Newgate.

Roger grinned and said to Whitebeard.
